The head of the Russian delegation at the negotiations, Volodymyr Medinsky, stated that the third major prisoner exchange did not begin allegedly because of "Ukraine's refusal to give up 1,000 prisoners." However, this is another manipulation by the enemy.
Points of attention
- Russian delegation falsely claimed Ukraine's refusal to exchange prisoners of war, which was disproved by the CPD.
- Ukraine advocates for an 'all for all' exchange, while Russia attempts to discredit the process by spreading misinformation.
- The Central Military District refuted the Russian fake news about prisoner exchange, highlighting Russia's efforts to tarnish the exchanges.
The CPD denied the Russian fake about the exchange of prisoners of war
On August 6, information began to appear in the Russian media that allegedly "Kyiv is only selectively taking prisoners of war offered by Russia for exchange."
Hostile propagandists claim that Ukraine has allegedly already given up 1,000 prisoners of war from the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Medinsky also made such a fake statement.
According to him, the third major prisoner exchange with Ukraine "has not yet begun due to Kyiv's refusal."
A fake "appeal" allegedly on behalf of Ukrainian prisoners of war also appeared online, which talks about "exclusion of certain individuals from exchange lists."
The CPD denied another Russian fake, stating that this is a continuation of the Russian campaign to discredit exchanges.
This information is not true. Ukraine insists on an exchange on the principle of "all for all". Russia is trying to discredit the process and avoid this format of prisoner exchange.
